Hello, this is my first bug I've reported here so I'd like to apologize in advance if I'm doing something incorrectly. My goal is to help. In Fedora 19, I do not have the option anywhere in xfce4-power-manager-settings to shutdown my laptop when the lid is closed, the power button is pressed or power becomes critical. I do have these options in Fedora 18. Without knowing much, this command seems to shed some light on things: [root@laptop polkit-1]# xfce4-power-manager --dump --debug --------------------------------------------------- Xfce power manager version 1.2.0 With policykit support With network manager support With DPMS support --------------------------------------------------- Can suspend: True Can hibernate: False Can spin down hard disks: True Authorized to suspend: True Authorized to hibernate: True Authorized to shutdown: False Authorized to spin down hard disks: True Has battery: True Has brightness panel: True Has power button: True Has hibernate button: True Has sleep button: True Has LID: True Is there a simple workaround to enable me to be authorized to shutdown the system? Thank you very much, Brian
Seems to me like the policykit permissions have changed from Fedora 18 to 19 – or to put it differently: not like a problem in xfce4-power-manager. Do you still have this problem?
Likely a configuration problem, closing.
